Wildcat A 11/13/2015

OK, time to knock #47 off of the list. 

Left home Early, arrived at the 19 mile brook trailhead early...which I just parked at for another hike a few months ago. 

A bit into the hike, I came across a section of relocated trail and a brand new bridge crossing the brook here. 

It was pretty cool to see the completed bridge.  I saw it midway completed a few months ago.  It will last for years to come.

I made it to the Wildcat Ridge trail fairly quickly.  The weather is cool and supposed to turn snowy/rainy in the afternoon so I rushed it a bit up the mountain.  The views were limited and I had zero trouble on Wildcat Slide.  It wasn't slippery at all. 


I made it to the summit and got some good views into Maine. 



Also, at the summit was ice.  It looked like the trees got covered in rime ice and the ice melted and fell in chunks.  It looked like someone took a bag of ice cubes and spread it across the forest floor. 


 


All in all a great day for #47.   It's official, my 48 finish will be on Liberty.  Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later.
